MAGNIT COMPLETES THE PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER THE TENDER OFFER

Krasnodar, Russia (September 14, 2023): Magnit PJSC (MOEX: MGNT; Magnit, the Company), one of Russia's leading retailers, notifies that LLC "Magnit Alyans" (the "Purchaser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Magnit, has completed the purchase of Shares from Shareholders whose Shares were held through Euroclear Bank SA/NV, under the Tender Offer, announced on June 16, 2023.

Earlier, the Purchaser announced the completion of the acquisition of Shares from Shareholders who held Shares through the Russian depository and settlement infrastructure. Therefore, today the Purchaser announces the full completion of the acquisition of Shares under the Tender Offer.

In total, 21,903,163.8 Shares have been purchased from Shareholders under the Tender Offer, representing approximately 21.5% of all issued and outstanding Shares and equivalent to approximately RUB 48.5 billion at the Purchase Price.

The Tender Offer constituted the first transaction under which non-resident shareholders of a Russian public company have been provided with an opportunity to dispose of their shareholdings with settlement in different currencies under the current regulatory restrictions.

The Tender Offer generated substantial interest from non-resident shareholders. The Purchaser acquired 100% of the Shares, which have been validly tendered by Shareholders under the Tender Offer. In total, settlement occurred with 189 sellers from 21 countries, including the Baltic countries, the Nordic countries, Singapore, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and other jurisdictions. Magnit's GDR program depositary bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., took part in the Tender Offer as well as international investors, including long-term active management funds, passive index funds / ETFs, hedge funds, pension and sovereign wealth funds, family funds and individual investors. As part of the settlement process through Russian depositary and settlement infrastructure, transfer and payment for Shares were conducted with the involvement of international custodians and banks, as well as their Russia-domiciled subsidiaries.

The Purchaser notes that the approvals received grant the right to purchase additional Shares from non-resident shareholders. The Company is engaged in continuous dialog with its Shareholders who have been unable to participate in this Tender Offer due to various circumstances and, depending on their interest and other factors, the Purchaser may in the future consider various options for structuring the
